In reply to Joe S.. Thinking 1coin proof holder per coin is crazy. Shipping will double cost per coin. Seems like the mint wants my whole paycheck

Showing “$1” instead of “One Dollar” is the biggest turn off in this design. It is the cheesiest looking shortcut on any coin. It makes it look like an arcade token. Are any numismatists actually involved in US coin design any more?

The U.S. Mint and their marketing team seem extremely arrogant. They seem to think that the theme will sell the coin, not the design; i.e. Breast Cancer Awareness, WWI Commemorative, etc.
No where in their product description do they mention or show what, or if, this innovation dollar coin will be package in, whether it be a capsule and, or case. Consumers are left to guess if this product will be packaged in a clam shell case, or a box, or if anything at all. Their attitude that anything not mentioned in a product offering should be assumed or be common knowledge further demonstrates the U.S. Mint marketing team incompetence.

In reply to Richard. Blame Congress for the series and for the late date. They approved the minting in late July and the mint had to scramble to design and issue a coin in 2018.

The obverse looks so ’empty’. E PLURIBUS UNUM should have been put in the upper right of Liberty.

What an ugly coin. George Washington deserves better. The date and mint mark need ti be on the surface of the coin. The obverse, with the Statue of liberty is too sparce, could have used the legend The United States of America.
The reverse is much too busy. It’s like they had a lot to say and cramed it all together.
I don’t care how rare or how short the supply is. I will not be buying any of these so called Dollars.
I will focus my collecting on the wonderful mint products of the past, some of which are real works of art.

In reply to Richard. Good points Richard! More garbage coins from the mint! Interesting point about artificial rarities. Unfortunately, and even though they are a very late release and the mint can not produce them past the mint date on the coin, the mint has probably already produced enough of these atrocities to continue sales well into the new year. The mint is too stupid and greedy to create an artificial rarity on purpose, except when they do. I can't wait to see what the mint deems as an "intentional rarity" in 2019. Probably another failed attempt to get on the good side of collectors. Happy collecting in the new year!

Utterly unnecessary with many millions of previously minted dollars in storage. And this year at least uncirculated specimens can only be obtained in rolls or bags, or from dealers at even greater premiums. A three coin P-D-S set would at least have been interesting. This is just a way to make money for the mint. And look too at the late date that they are being released. If orders are few and mintage is halted at the end of the month artificial rarities may have been created for a coin that never should have existed. What a mess.
